Advances in Aeroacoustics Research in Wind Engineering

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This topic aims to disseminate recent advancements in aeroacoustics research, encompassing both innovative concepts and novel applications. The content intends to cover theoretical, computational, and experimental aeroacoustics, addressing classical issues in linear and nonlinear acoustics. Aeroacoustics are essential for both dynamic and static objects subjected to wind flow around or through them, and achieving high aeroacoustics efficiency with minimal wind noise is a key requirement for the design and manufacture of road vehicles, high-speed trains, aircraft, wind turbines, buildings, and structures. Furthermore, the aeroacoustics issues in ducts, pipelines, engines, and vehicle interiors are increasingly becoming important design criteria for maintaining market competitiveness. The topic will showcase technological progress in aeroacoustics by providing a publication platform for the interchange of innovative ideas, advanced techniques and technologies, and groundbreaking solutions to problems in the field of aeroacoustics in wind engineering. The scopes of the topic on aeroacoustics in wind engineering include, among others, the research and development of noise source identification and reduction, acoustic prediction and simulation, aeroacoustics optimization, and psychoacoustics. The rationale for the topic includes dissemination of the latest research and technological advancements in (a) noise reduction for safety, comfort, environment, health, and well-being; (b) performance enhancement; and (c) innovation and development in bio-inspired design, advanced materials, technologies, and other interrelated areas.

Research areas may encompass, but are not restricted to, the following:

1. Flow-Induced Noise: Boundary Layer Ingestion and Ducted Fan Noise
2. Flow-Induced Noise: Turbulence-Ingestion Noise
3. Wind Turbine Noise Mechanisms and Mitigation as well as Nonoperational Loads and Noise
4. Experimental Aeroacoustics and diagnostics (Wind Tunnel Testing, In Situ and Field Testing, and Innovative Techniques)
5. Computational Aeroacoustics and High-Fidelity Modeling
6. Sustainable Design and Noise Reduction (Low-Noise Aerofoil Design and Flow Control Techniques)
7. Wind Farm Aeroacoustics
8. Psychoacoustics and Noise Annoyance
9. AI and Machine Learning Applications (Noise Prediction and Optimization)

Articles addressing these or similar topics are welcome. To ensure rapid publication, all submissions will be subjected to a quick but thorough peer review. The editors look forward to receiving your insightful contributions.
